Yes
As some of you may be aware I have been away on hols to Cyprus and had a bit of an eventful time

They say things happen in Three's:shake:

No.1

Been on hols for 3 days, Dad was driving my sisters jeep back home with myself and my 3 1/2 yr old son in the car when some loon in a pick up truck decided to try and wipe us out, we nearly missed him but he side swiped us spinning our car round and smashing the side.

The aftermath

The extent of the injuries!!

We were all very lucky, I had a few cuts and bruises and my son received a few cuts on his leg from the flying glass but we all walked away and the insurance sorts the cars.

No.2

The very next day my mum went shopping, reveresed her little jeep into a lampost smashing the rear windscreen and knackering the door.
In the space of two days we went from having 3 vehicles available to 1 :bang:


After that we had a smashing time, met up with Stylgeo(George) and had some great fun.

No.3

On the Friday before we were due to fly out on the Sunday we here that XL.com had gone belly up, guess who we booked with:bonk:

Spent some time on the phone trying to find out what was happening, could not get any sense from anyone so arrived at the Airport a bit earlier than normal on the Sunday to find out what was happening.
Fortunatly we were covered by ATOL and the flight departed 1 hour late and everything was tickety boo:thumbs:

Others I understand were not so lucky:(

So all in all an eventful holiday, we were lucky and still managed to have a great time.
Cyprus is a wonderful island and so are the people


Just thought I would share:D

I felt a bit sorry for the young lad driving the truck really, as you can imagine I was a bit vexed once I had got out and also got my son out the car.
He went very pale as I expressed my displeasure using international sign language:lol:
 
Sorry to hear of your mishaps.

We have recently returned from Crete and we too flew with XL Airways.
We were lucky I guess
 
Sounds like fun, the first pick looks a bit grainy and i think the bin is in the way of the photo. :lol: oops wrong section
